The “civil rights” movement eliminated freedom of association and made private property conditional.


I don’t completely follow this

What the civil right act did was force integration which forced many out of integrating often referred to as “white flight”. There was no law against associating with whoever you wanted though. It just became more difficult for lower income folks when it came to schooling. Not great imo but certainly not making freedom of association illegal.

I also don’t follow conditional ownership of private property. How ?

Prayer was taken out of schools in the 1960s as well.

The best thing about the 60s was the music we now call 'Classic Rock.' The Rolling Stones replaced Frank Sinatra and I was grateful.


Meanwhile… I took my 7-year-old daughter somewhere yesterday. She asked if we could listen to “Bye, bye, bye” by *NSYNC in the car. No idea how she even knows that song exists but we were jamming out to it and she said, “Mommy, this is rock n roll.”

i have pretty fond memories of the 60's i was born in 61.

do you know how many black children grew up in intact two parent homes in 1961? 67% today 38%

white children on the other hand 93% in 1961 today 74%

the destruction of "the family" is a cultural thing.

Honestly, what I thought of was the Comus Mardi Gras Krewe thing whereby they stopped rolling because they didn’t want to reveal the names of their members.

But that’s such a niche and isolated incident. Idk.

Men have occupied every presidency, the overwhelming majority of seats in Congress, governorships, judgeships, cabinet positions, and positions of institutional power. Yet somehow when you disapprove of what those governments have done, your explanation is women.

Lemme splain it to ya. When the 10 states gave women the right to vote in statewide elections before the 19th was passed, those 10 states had men running for limited, efficient govt vs. men promising the women 'lots of stuff for the ladies!' The female vote got those guys elected and they all produced huge budget deficits. The female vote elected men to pass bad policies.

Yep. You can probably move that date up a bit, to whenever white guilt really started to appear, but the 60s were certainly when cultural rot began to flourish.

I think it’s funny that a random man assumes he’d conveniently land on the privileged side of every relevant social and economic divide in colonial America because he happened to be born a white man in modern-day America.


As much as your and your ilk leverage this made up "white privilege" lie to promote your hatred and violence, that no one else on this board pointed out the irony of this statement is amazing to me....

Even funnier that you used it as a gotcha too.
